Kansas City at Los Angeles

The Angels lost to the Royals last night 4-3, surrendering a 3-1 lead. Without a doubt, this team got railed by their skipper last night in losing to the worst team in the majors. They should be able to take out their frustration on Wood as he has pitched a total of 14 innings this year, given up 16 hits and 7 earned runs in that span. In fact, Wood lasts about 5 innings each start and the infamous Royals bullpen is used early and that usually spells trouble for them. Despite last night's outcome, this is one of the best investments on tonight's board. Lackey comes off a shelling from his last outing. Before his last game against Seattle, he had given up just three earned runs in 21 innings and had won three straight. I beleive Lackey comes out today and pitches strong to erase the bitter taste of the previous outing. Thus, given that we have both Lackey and the Angels on a bounce back today, we have a great opportunity here. Keep in mind that the Royals are 0-4 when in Wood's last 4 starts as an underdog of +201 or more, the Angels are a spectacular 9-1 when Lackey is -200 or more favorite and the Royals are 7-23 in their last 30 games in Los Angeles. Let's ride the Halos today as it seems their going to burst open for a big game tonight.
